Need rifle loading video

[Norm53]

In Mr. Lincoln's Army, author Catton states, "'Load in nine times: load!'". (pg. 186) It would be helpful in understanding to watch a reenactor perform this procedure for a "rifled Springfield".

Also, a video or photo would help to visualize "... a percussion cap on the nipple to ignite the charge ..." and "... these caps came in long rolls which were inserted in a spring-and-cogwheel device in the breech ... ". (pg. 186)
